Link-ups and break-ups… it’s all happening on the Internet.
One could praise this tech-creation for forging new relationships, but the same can also be the culprit of broken relationships. A space where youngsters log on to find that special ‘someone’, also has those who enter the cyber world to get away from his/her someone. The hit Facebook fad has seemed to catch on to all, young and old. If you’ve watched the movie, Mitr, you’ll know that there are circumstances in life which can make one resort to an alternate source of companionship, to which agrees Deepti, who has been married for seven years. “I have an account on Orkut and Facebook and there are times when I’ve added strangers from a common interest community to chat at times. Though I haven’t been attracted to anyone, it still, is addictive,” she giggles and adds that she wouldn’t find it surprising if someone gets intimate and perhaps even “romantically involved” through such sites. Priyanka, not a very net savvy woman, shares, “My husband is very fond of on-line chatting and keeps in touch with friends through Facebook. Sometimes, when he surfs for long hours, it makes me slightly insecure and although I shouldn’t, my mind still forces me to peep into his laptop and check on him!
Social networking sites, being a rather recent trend in India, haven’t been the reason for as many break-ups and link-ups as compared to the West. Pranav Akhauri, a student in New York says, “Facebook is almost like a ‘life-update wall’ for most people here. Many hearts meet and many hearts break on Facebook, and the world gets to know about it.” When asked about his opinion on this, he sums it all up saying, “Years ago, connections were made and broken through letters, then came the telephone, and then the SMS. It has all been developed to facilitate communication… Today it is the Internet and tomorrow there will be something else… and life will go on!”
